Signing Smart®: Beginner

Signing Smart® strategies integrate more than 150 American Sign Language signs into songs, games and activities developed to engage very young children and their parents. Research has shown that using American Sign Language with hearing babies and toddlers allows communication and spoken language to happen earlier and faster, while reducing frustration and tantrums. Most children have two to three words by 12 months, whereas Signing Smart children typically have 25 signs and 16 words! Most children start combining words into two-word sentences by 20 months, whereas Signing Smart(R) children typically do this by 11-14 months and some as early as six months! The National Institute of Health even found a 12-point IQ increase for eight year-olds who used signs as young children. More research, class pictures and family quotes at www.SigningSmart.com.

TOT Pre-Fin

This class is meant for children who have taken a parent and child class and are ready to try taking swimming classes without a parent in the water with them. Pre-Fin has a low student to teacher ratio to maximize student interaction with the instructor. When children can confidently attempt back and front floats with assistance, full submersions of their heads in the water, and meet the minimum 3 years and 3 months’ age requirement for Fin 1, they will be ready to take Fin 1 in the following session. Toddlers who are not toilet trained must wear snug swim diapers.

Fin 1

This beginner class requires little or no prior experience in swimming classes, or for 3 year-olds who have taken Pre-Fin or comparable course; children must willingly participate without a parent/guardian. Once participants can fully submerge their head and perform front and back floats with limited support they will be ready to take Fin 2. Toddlers who are not toilet trained must wear snug swim diapers.

TIPS FOR SWIMMING LESSONS Arlington County is proud to provide lessons that are based on the American Red Cross Learn-to-Swim program. When registering, please make sure that the participant will be able to complete all necessary pre-requisites on the first day of swim class. On the first day of class, instructors will administer an assessment based on the previous level exit skills, so attendance on this day is important. At that time, the instructor may recommend that a student is placed in a different level. This recommendation is based on the specific skills and the overall skill of the group. It is anticipated that participants take classes more than once to meet skill requirements for the next level. Confidence and competency take time and repetition, participants who maintain consistency in attendance tend to progress more quickly. Please remember that everyone progresses at different speeds it is important to feel confidence with the skills before progressing to the next level.

DETERMINING YOUR CHILD'S SWIM LEVEL

16

In order to provide a positive learning experience and maintain a safe environment, it is important that children are properly placed in an aquatics program. Class placements are based first on age, due to specific cognitive development needs, learning and listening abilities and ability to focus. Some classes also have pre-requisites -specific skills necessary to guide placement -which ensure the group can progress successfully together. Age is defined as the participants age on the start date of each class.

Children ages 3 through 6 years can participate in the Fin program listed on pages 10-11. More information on these programs can be found in the chart on page 11. It is typical that participants repeat these courses to gain confidence in the skills required to move to the next level. Once the child is 6 years old, they are eligible to enter the Youth swim level program. Participants at the Fin 4 level may continue with that course until they turn 7 or the instructor recommends moving up.

Children under the age of 4 who have not taken a swimming class before or have limited experience should consider taking a Parent/Tot class which is listed on page 10. These classes are specific to age group defined and no exceptions are made to the ages listed.

Children ages 6 through 12 years should find the appropriate youth swim course based on their skill level with swimming. If children have participated in Fin programs successfully they will most likely be able to skip Level 1.
